Todd Brown normally lives in a house 700 feet from the front of the school, but for the weekend, he has moved into a large tent just outside the front gates.

"It's just a few minute walk, but if we don't get in here, we have to drive across town to one of the other schools," Brown said.

The school's website says there are 130 slots for new kindergarteners for the 2013-14 school year.

Families with children already attending the school will get guaranteed admission for siblings, leaving the number of remaining slots undetermined.

The school has a first-come, first-served enrollment policy, rather than setting boundaries -- which would limit registration to families who live closest to the school.

Some parents began camping out on Friday.

Sunday night, parents started lining up chairs marked with family names to ensure the order parents were arriving was maintained until Monday morning when school staff arrive to start the registration process.

"I think its strange. I think it's weird. You know, it's a public school and taxpayers should be in their public school," said Jen Old, a parent of a prospective kindergartener.

Old is behind about 40 other parents in line.

She said she didn't want to think about the possibility of her child not getting enrolled, even after spending the weekend camped in front of the school.

Old said most parents and children are making the most of the situation.

"It's almost like a strange bonding experience, 'cause you have all the kids out there, and you're like, 'well, I guess this works out well because they will all be going to school together,' " Old said.
